The Santa Fe in Chicago.

The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
Road made an important day OF it yester-
day, and accomplished considerable to-
bard bringing it's new Chicago line into
this city. The ratification of the contract
with the Chicago and Western Indiana
Road, which Will serve to bring the COM
pany's trains to Polk and Dearborn
streets, was indeed an important feature
of the negotiations.
Another important feature is the an
nouncement, now officially made, that
the Santa Fe road has, after encountering
much opposition, secured the property
on the west side of State street, from
Twelfth to Fifteenth street, and about
one-half of the property on State street,
between Taylor and Twelfth streets. The
land here is Il6 feet deep, and every lot
was secured at price ranging from $500
to 500 per front foot. For several
months past the company has been &C
lively engaged in buying up this proper
ty. The matter was kept 8 secret so as
not to cause the property owners to ad-
vance their values unnecessarily. The
land was bought by number OF parties
under different names, multitude of
reasons for the purchases being
given. The purchase of the land be-
tween Taylor and Twelfth streets has
not been completed, simply because some
of the land owners have discovered the
company's plans, and are charging ex
orbitant prices for their land. The use
to which this land will be putt eX-
tends from State street to the Western
Indiana tracks-has not been finally de-
cided upon. That freight houses will
cover most of the land is certainty, but
the details of the plans cannot be ar
ranged until the chief engineer of the
company has been here. He expects to
complete his plans within ten days or
two weeks.
The first legal steps to obtain an en-
trance to Chicago were taken yesterday
by the company in petition fled in the
County court TO condemn the east half OF
section so, SO and Il, lying between the
west fork of the south branch of the
Chicago river and the Illinois and Michi-
gan canal.-TChicago Inter-Ocean.

STEPHENvILLE, TEX, June 12.-Our
town was not represented at the meeting
of the directors of the Fort Worth and
Rio Grsnde Railroad in your city on the
the 9TH inst, not because of lack of inter-
est in this enterprise, but because we had
information that it would be useless to
send committees to the Fort at that time,
as the management would be in no better
position that day or time to deal with US
or any of the towns west of Granbury
than it was before the meeting, hence we
did not send committee, but are still
and impatiently waiting to hear some
sound of encouragement as to the early
extension of this road. We believe the
road will make its wants known to the
people along the route when it gets
ready to move on. Our people are ready
and willing to do all they can that is fair
and reasonable to aid and assist in get
ting this road to Stepenville.

AUniform Classification.

The matter OF freight classification has
long been a troublesome question for
railroads to settle satisfactorily to them
selves and also to the shippers, but q
movement has been inaugurated which,
if successfully carried out, will prove
beneficial in more than one way. A
meeting will soon be held at Denver for
the purpose of agreeing upon a uniform
classification throughout the United
States. In speaking of this Improvement
a local freight agent of wide experience
yesterday said to Journal reporter:
at has been held by some that 8 uni
form classification is impossible on ac
count of the varied industries in the diff
ferent states of the Union, but l am of
the opinion that it Is possible. All that is
necessary is to adjust the rates and
that can be done. I am confident
that at the meeting to be held at Den
yer, the East Trunk line, the Texas,
the western and southern steamship
classitiCatiOns will be blended into one.
When that is accomplished the freight
business will have become greatly sim
plifed, and many annoying features will
nave been removed. l think that at the
next session of Congress the inter state
commerce bill will be amended and sec
ton added requiring the roads to adopt
a uniform classification. Then regular
board of commissioners should be
elected, and the rates should undergo
revision not oftener than once year.
The chairman should be empowered TO
call meetings whenever he believes it
necessary to do so for consideration of
complaints from shippers. l think the
Interstate commerce law will prove the
foundation for many needed reforms in
the railroad business, and that which
have just mentioned will be one of the
number. - Kansas City Journal.

even twenty miles an hour admits OF
little doubt, when the time made by pas
senger trains is taken into consideration.
For instance, it requires as much power

is heavier and harder to pull than a

least as much is claimed by men who

A Fight for a Crossing.

IlJyIANAPoLIs, mo, June PA spir-
tied railway fight developed here tonight.
The Indianapolis, Decatur and Spring
fed Company enters the passenger sta
ton over the tracks of the Indianapolis
Central, St. Louis and Chicago Company,
using 600 or zoo feet of that line, and
has been paying snug sum for
the privilege. They grew tired OF paying
cut money, and proposed building a
track. To do this it was necessary to
cross the tracks of the other companies.
Tonight the Decatur people put gang
of $50 men at work and the crossing was
almost completed before the officials of
the other company learned what was
going on, and as soon as they were in
formed, they ordered q locomotive and
70. ce of men to the scene and attempted
to stop the work. The crossing was
sort of temporary affair, intended to es-
teblish the local right of the Decatur
people, and the Big Four people tried to
demolish it by running locomotive upon
1t. The locomotive was thrown from the
track, and while the Big Four gang
was engaged in replacing it, the Decatur
people practically completed another
temporary crossing. At q late hour to-
night the Big Four people had the cross
ing blockaded with locomotive and
several freight cars. The Decatur peo-
pie claim they have established their
legal right, and will in the morning pro-
coed to complete the work. The Big Four
officials threaten resistance and regular
fight is expected.

police was ordered to the scene, riot

known that the Illinois Central has not
only determined to build to Kansas City,
but that it is at the back of line now be-
ing constructed between this city and st.
Louis. This statement is not based upon
mere rumor, but proceeds from a source
that is kaown to be reliable. Moreover,
the road in question will be built into
Kansas City within the next twelve
months.
Some time ago the Illinois Central Sc
cured control of the Champaign and
Havana Road and few are inclined to
believe that the Kansas City extension
will be constructed from Havana. This
! may be possible, but there are as good
grounds for believing that it will be built
| from Springfield. There is reason, how
ever, for stating that neither OF the points
named will be the starting place. It is
well known that there is now being con-
structed what is called the Missouri Cen
tral, line extending from st. Louis to
Kansas City. The road will cross the
Mississippi river st Alton and the Mis-
souri, river at Arrow Rock. From that
point it is understood several lines have
been surveyed, one crossing the river
some distance below the city, and an
other, as is claimed, following upon the
Clay county side to point not yet def
nitely determined upon. This road,
known to the public as the Missouri Cen
trial, is said to be backed by the Illinois
Central, and the fact that it extends
through the vast coal fields owned by w.
E. Winner, has led some to believe that
the bridge across the Missouri river near
Locust street is not Winner scheme,
but one in which the Illinois Central is
interested. Whether this be true or
false, one thing is certain, and that is
that the Illinois Central will have q line
running into Kansas City before the su-
tumnal equinox of ls88.-[Ksnsas City

The United States Economist SAYS
about the Philadelphia wool market:
There has been but little change since
Our last issue. Holders of old woods ere
less disposed to make concessions to
effect sales, as it Is evident that new
woods will cost higher than was antici-
pated. Manufacturers show less dis
position to buy largely early in the sea
son, and will not lay in stocks until there
is better outlook for goods-some
are running their machinery on
short time Meantime, they have but
small supply of wool and ere waiting Tor
desirable lots to arrive. Later in the
summer there will probably be more de-
nand, when the views of buyers
and operators will have come to-
gether snd manufacturers may have a bet
ter outlook for their product. Some
large auction sales Of wooden goods are
being held in New York, but it is under
stood that these are mostly of undesirable
styles. New unWashed wool is COM
ing forward very slowly, and the
early receipts thus far have met with
good sales. Low and medium grades
are scarce and bring full prices. Those
descriptions that are adapted for Worsted
purposes are eagerly sought for. Texas,
Colorado and New Mexico are sending
some woods forward; the better grades
meeting with fair demand, while carpet
descriptions are in sympathy with the
low values of foreign carpet woods. The
washed sections and the more northerly
territories may be expected to Shear dur
ing this month.
